None of us are perfect, but we got a good chuckle when we asked a couple questions in an ETR. This is a service we pay for, right? LOL.
The questions make no difference - just read the responses: A1. In SDSNMACS(DSNDQW00), QW0021K2 is defined as XL1 (i.e. hex with a length of 1 byte). Later on in the same member it's defined as FIXED(8) (i.e. 8 bits). The value for the partition number will be stored as a hex value so 1 byte or 8 bits will have a maximum hex value of x'FFFFFFFF' (4,294,967,295 decimal). . A2. Those fields in your list defined as XL2 or CL2 ar 2 bytes or 16 bits in length. QW0199DN is defined as QW0199DN H and later on defined as PTR(16). That's a halfword or 16 bits, the same as XL2 and CL2. The maximum hex value in 16 bits then is x'FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF' or 18,446,744,073,709,551,615. Todd No virus found in this outgoing message.
